Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Filing 601 waiver in Juarez	No I don't have anything yet. I know my lawyer sent off the waiver with the I-129f then he told me we have to resend it now. That's why I'm confused. It's already been over a year since we've seen each other and we have a two year old together. I don't want things to take that much longer.	Michele1003	Female	Mexico	2013-10-07 17:00:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	I-601 waiver Ground of Inadmissibility	Y does he need a waiver, overstay only? not too bad one cannot file a waiver until interview the consulate denies the visa but give U a paper to say U are approved to apply for a waiver....its discretionary...no garantees. Any criminal or prior immigration history, requires a good waiver atty.all waivers requires atty. The atty has to argue the case in a brief, many hardships shown and each waiver is $585. Its taking 6-10 mths now for waiver decisions   He has been arrested before for domestic violence and all the charges were dropped and he attended all his classes. and he was also married before who had filed on his behalf and they never finished because they ended up getting divorced. We have a lawyer. but I'm still super worried about everything	Michele1003	Female	Mexico	2013-12-31 21:40:00

Mexico, Latin & South America	Interview next month! Have some questions though...	It should not take that long to leave NVC... mine was received on Friday the 19th and left NVC to the consulate on Monday the 23rd... (the day yours arrived to NVC).... Please call NVC and get a case number just in case... find out on your embassy´s portal and see if they can give you that appt letter.... in my case, my fiance will get that letter from the window at the consulate.... I am not sure if it is the same in your case... Also, please check this site once you get that case number, it will give you updates on the case.... good luck!!!   https://ceac.state.g...ker/status.aspx What letter does he need to get at the window? I received a letter addressed to my fiancé saying to fill out the DS-160 form and that was it. Is there something else? Nice! Thanks again and let's keep our cases on God's hands!         I was looking at posts and you live in Sarasota! I'm from Punta Gorda. It makes me feel better to see they're people around me going through the same thing! Good Luck with everything!	Michele1003	Female	Mexico	2013-12-31 21:33:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Specific Questions Post USCIS approval. K1 Mexico	1. What I have been using has been the first link you have.  the USC should have received the NOA2. Please call USCIS and ask them to send it that it was never received. YOu will need it later when adjusting status. 2. Yes it is. K1 visas do not require vaccinations, but please be sure to have them handy with you as they will be needed when you are in the US for adjustment of status.  I am not sure about that kids' vaccines. 3. NO need. 4. No choice. Juarez is where these visas are processed. Please plan accordingly.  YOu need to have the medical done one or two days before the interview and remember you also need to have that famous letter that never arrived, which you can get from the consulate window that opens at 6:30am. The fingerprints can be done at another consulate. The system lets you choose the consulate where you want your fingerprints, but you do need to travel to Juarez for the interview. My fiancé and I are in the same situation. He lives in Puebla 5. The medical appt. is on a first come first served basis, if you completed your fingerprints in Guadalajara a week or two weeks before, you can go in the morning before the interview to get the letter from the window and the medical done and then next day the interview. I am not too familiar if these procedures vary because you are taking kids with you so maybe someone else can give you some more input but that's pretty much a general picture.  Good luck! PLease update your timeline and contact me should you have any questions      Kmiami my fiancé is from el Carmen in Tlaxcala! It's about an hour from puebla. he has to fly to Juarez	Michele1003	Female	Mexico	2013-12-22 21:11:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Consular Interview Appointment letter	The invitation letter gets you into the medical appointment which you have to do at least a day before your interview. The medical costs 190$. You will need the proof that you completed DS 160 for the ASC appointment. They will put a sticker on your DS160 to show that you completed ASC appointment. I needed 2 Passport sized photos, a copy of my last 2012 taxes, an original 134 Affidavit of support, an original Mexican birth certificate and obviously the passport. They asked her 4 questions. How long had she known me, did she have any tattoos, did she ever have any problems with the police, and when was the last time she was in USA. When you first get in the Embassy after the security check which they won't allow you the US citizen in they open the sealed medical paperwork which you brought which is sealed in black plastic. The person goes over it and then you go to the next station when they took the I 134 the DS160 and the tax return. They then sent her to the ASC center where she waited 20 minutes and they confirmed they had all the correct information. She then went back and was at another window and that's when they asked her to raise her hand and state she was going to tell the truth. The lady was African American and asked in Spanish if she wanted to speak Spanish or english. If he can have him do it in English she did and she thinks it went easier. They never asked for any proof of relationship or pictures or police certificate or check stubs or phone records, hotel receipts or any of that. The lady let her know it was approved and gave her a green slip of paper on how to get the DHL way bill number to track the visa. She was approved on the 23rd but as of today 11 days letter there is no way bill number yet I think because of the holiday. The embassy was 3 hours, her appointment was at 730 am, medical 2 hours, and the ASC appointment was about an hour. Thank you so much! we are getting so nervous! he is flying into Juarez from mexico city sunday the 12th and I will be flying into el paso. I'm only going because I have done everything so I'm bringing everything and going to go over everything with him. I will also be paying everything. Monday I figured we would get up early and go get his medical. Tuesday he has his asc appointment then Wednesday the 15 is the interview. then Thursday go home. we know we will have to file a waiver. I'm just nervous about his medical because he has tattoos and I've heard some people give them a hard time. Yep. The invitation letter, and confirmations from the DS-160 and appointments. Good luck! Thank you!!!!	Michele1003	Female	Mexico	2014-01-05 11:58:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Consular Interview Appointment letter	well I have the invitation letter, that's all I need? I just had my appointment on December 23rd. I never received the invitation letter and neither did my fiancee in mexico. Just go to the window at the Juarez embassy to get the letter before you get your medical and ASC appointment. I got the letter in about 2 minutes. The line at the window is very short and either you or your fiancee can get the letter with your Jan 15 appointment confirmation printout.     The only thing that is mailed is the invitation letter stating they received your case and giving you the links to the instructions and websites you need. That is the letter that can be obtained from the information window at the consulate if you never receive it before you go to Juarez. Confirmation for filling out the DS-160, payment and interview appointment are to be printed out. Have him print out the email confirmation for the interview appointment.       ~ Moved from K-1 Process to Mexico, Latin & South America regional - topic is specific to Juarez process ~ I have the invitation letter, I received that in the mail. then I have everything printed out. I will be meeting him before so that is all we need?	Michele1003	Female	Mexico	2014-01-04 20:59:00

Mexico, Latin & South America	questions about medical	Interesting news about your appointment.  Elizabeth was in Ciudad Juarez last August and they did not take appointments.  You had to get in line and wait your turn.  I talked to people who just recently were in Cuidad Juarez and the two authorized medical facilities were still not taking appointments...again you had to show up early and get in line.     Good luck and God Bless I had my fiancé call this morning and he was able to schedule an appointment on Monday for 9:30!
